Book Synopsis

Esta novedosa edición destaca no sólo porque contiene las cartas que Piñera le envió a su compañero y confidente Humberto Rodríguez Tomeu entre 1958 y 1976, hasta ahora inéditas en su mayoría, sino por el prolijo ensayo introductorio de Thomas F. Anderson. Se instala aquí una perspectiva reveladora de una de las más originales e intrigantes voces de la literatura latinoamericana del siglo veinte. Se enfocan aspectos importantes del proceso intelectual y afectivo vivido por el autor cubano bajo el manto de un aparato cultural y policiaco que eventualmente lo marginó y silenció. Obtenemos una labor de edición, documentación e interpretación indispensable.

This novel edition stands out not only because it contains the letters that Piñera sent to his companion and confidant Humberto Rodríguez Tomeu between 1958 and 1976, most of which were unpublished until now, but also because of the lengthy introductory essay by Thomas F. Anderson. This text holds a revealing perspective of one of the most original and intriguing voices of Latin American literature of the 20th century. It clarifies important aspects of the intellectual and affective process lived by the Cuban author under the influence of cultural and police forces that eventually marginalised and silenced him. The editing, documenting and interpreting work in this text is essential.
